Products

ASAFAMA is a highly-modified silicone fluid designed for use in systems where a dimethyl silicone may be a problem. In addition to the benefits listed, ASAFAMA will also enhance the application defoaming properties of your coating.

APACA is a modified dimethyl polysiloxane co-polymer solution. It will help in reducing surface defects by altering the surface tension of the coating and for use in water-borne and water-reducible products.

ASAFA is a unique blend of a dimethyl silicone and refined naphthenic base oil blend. Designed for use in conventional systems: acrylic resins, alkyds, polyamide, polyester and urethane.

WBWADA-60 is a unique blend of a functional capped amine with tall oil fatty acid. The resulting product is a triangular shaped wetting agent with high efficiency toward alkaline based pigments. The key to the utilization is to maintain maximum mobility of the grind paste during initial incorporation of pigment. Resin-free grinds should utilize some co-solvent if possible to improve dispersion quality. Grinding in non-neutralized resin and co-solvent at the lowest resin solids as possible, provides the most suitable grinding medium. Continue to add pigment until viscosity reaches 100-135 KU at 100-130°F. Stabilization with neturalized resin after achieving the grind specification will help to avoid pigment shocking. The order of pigment addition should be primary colors and high oil absorption pigments followed by extenders and rheology modifiers. Systems include: Solution acrylics, polyesters, alkyds and epoxies.

RAMA is a recoatable, carefully calculated blend of Alkyl-Aryl modified silicones designed to improve mar resistance without the standard recoat problems of common silicones. Manufactured for use in virtually all solvent-borne systems.

SLICKO 1000 is a complex blend of linear dimethicone polymers and aliphatic solvent. The result is a medium viscosity fluid solution which is easily measured and added to paints in very small quantities. SLICKO 1000 is non-reactive and is effective in all types of solvent based enamels, lacquers and synthetic paints including catalyzed systems such as urethanes.

HSWADA-B is a unique blend of amine chemistry with dimerized acids. The resulting product is a triangular shaped wetting agent with high efficiency toward acidic based pigments. The top of the triangle offers a weak functional group with an affinity for alkaline pigments. This chemistry should be considered when both acid and base pigments are present. The key to the utilization is to maintain maximum mobility of the grind paste during initial incorporation of pigment. This can be achieved by choosing a resin that has good wetting characteristics and provides the lowest viscosity at the maximum solids. Continue to add pigment until viscosity reaches 100-135 KU at 120-150°F. The order of pigment addition should be primary colors and high oil absorption pigments followed by extenders and rheology modifiers. Refer to HSWADA-60 for activation of bentonite clays. Systems include: alkyds, drying oils, amino resins, vinyls, acrylics, oil modified urethanes, polyesters, epoxies and epoxy esters and polyesters.

HSWADA-60 is a unique blend of a functional capped amine with tall oil fatty acid. The resulting product is a triangular shaped wetting agent with high efficiency toward alkaline based pigments. The key to the utilization is to maintain maximum mobility of the grind paste during initial incorporation of pigment. This can be achieved by choosing a resin that has good wetting characteristics and provides the lowest viscosity at the maximum solids. Continue to add pigment until viscosity reaches 100-135 KU @ 120-150°F. The order of pigment addition should be primary colors and high oil absorption pigments followed by extenders and rheology modifiers. Bentonite clays can be activated by HSWADA-60 to produce a strong consistent gel. We recommend pre-activation and quality control checks to assure uniform gel formation. Systems include: alkyds, drying oils, amino resins, vinyls, acrylics, oil modified urethanes, polyesters, epoxies, and epoxy esters.
